RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against We Love Terrebonne PAC, a political action committee, its committee's chairperson, Wayne Thibodeaux, and treasurer, Christine Jackson Snapp, whose January 2022 Monthly campaign finance report was filed 5 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Wayne Thibodeaux, Chairman requests a waiver and states the following:




The PAC has been inactive in supporting and/or opposing any candidate and/or proposition for more than 2 years. Hurricane Ida turned his personal dealings and daily life upside down. He had multiple properties suffer severe damages and a commercial building that was totally destroyed. His mind and time was consumed by all that and his campaign finance reporting responsibility suffered as a result.
